Jin10 data June 26 news, the number of people applying for unemployment benefits in the United States fell last week, but the unemployment rate in June may rise as more unemployed individuals find it difficult to secure jobs. The Labor Department reported on Thursday that for the week ending June 21, the number of initial unemployment claims decreased by 10,000 to 236,000, which was lower than expected. These figures include the Independence Day holiday in the United States last week, during which claims are often unstable. Nevertheless, the wave of layoffs is intensifying, and economists say that the extensive import tariffs imposed by President Trump are making it difficult for businesses to plan for the future. The current scale of layoffs remains at historically low levels, but persistent weakness in hiring makes it harder for the unemployed to find new opportunities. In the week ending June 14, the number of continuing unemployment claims increased by 37,000 to 1.974 million, the highest level since November 2021. Due to the ongoing rise in unemployment claims, some economists expect the unemployment rate in June to rise from 4.2% in May to 4.3%.
